How would you respond as a teacher to this scenario? by EUN Partnership aisbl

This kid is amazing. I am totaly amazed. He has a different brain and thinking system as he claims. These students must get a special education in order not to decrease and suspend their different emotional thinking system.

I have two students so. But they are very different between them. I think you have to consider the individual differences. Usually you have to give more opportunities of work to this kind of students, but the most important. They must feel the same than the other pupils.

For most of us, the most challenging part about our job is not necessarily the teaching, but the time we spend managing student behavior. What may seem surprising is what we struggle with the most; it isn’t the children who misbehave that end up wearing us out—the consequences for these scenarios are relatively straightforward—rather, we painstakingly tussle with different ways to manage the students who complete their assignments in a matter of minutes.
An effective way to maximize gifted learning under the radar is by implementing choice boards, or as some call them learning menus.

Basically, you take a Tic-Tac-Toe board and fill it up with a variety of activities. Students will then complete rows of the board according to their interests, just like in the popular game. You can create unique boards for students who are working at different levels or encourage groups of kids to tackle specific rows if you feel it’d suit their difficulty level best. Any way you choose, it’s a simple and fun way to meet the needs of all your students.

Students are gifted when their ability is significantly above the norm for their age and I think they're a great benefit for teaching.

Gifted students need special attention in the class and our special preparation to meet their needs offering them more challenging tasks in comparison to the rest of the students.

Gifted and talented students are a reality we must take care of, too, in the field of SEN. They need more challenges and opportunities and they can be engaged as tutors in different activities.

Anita, Croatia

anita_simac — 2018-11-05 14:48:14 UTC

Unfortunately gifted children are often not given as much attention as they should be. They need motivation, encouragement and time to express themselves. Gifted children are truly gifts. They should be cherished, challenged and understood.

I think working with individual plans or stations is a good idea to differenciate. This would be necessary if you have a gifted child in your class. I would also give gifted children the possibility to work on topics they are very interested in. When I taught in first grade every child had a "ME" book. When they were finished with their work, they could write, draw, cut and glue.... whatever ... in this book. Sometimes they brought pictures from home... they also had the possibility to work with the computer and print something for this book.

There are a lot of sites where children can individually look for items in which they are interested. Neurocampus, hyrophant are also fine breintrainsiter. If you surf a bit, you will also find lots of webquests on 1001 topics, fully developed and written out from assignment to presentation, useful for the teacher. The pitfall in this is that these children will often experience this as extra work instead of an extra challenge ...

Excursion, observation, exhibition, cinema and theater activities are extracurricular activities. Indicates that the student can learn outside the classroom. They see how to explore, learn and learn while having fun.
Out-of-class activities reinforce by supporting classroom communication. For example, a teacher who tries to teach local history in a social studies lesson can perform an effective and fun learning by visiting students in the city's special and historical places. Especially life science provides a very effective and permanent learning in science. At the same time, it helps students to work with the group, to benefit from environmental opportunities, to love to learn, to be open and willing to innovate.

Excursions, observation, homework and interviews can be given as examples. The active participation of the students in these activities will ensure that their learning is permanent, not only by hearing, but also by learning by touching and seeing, which will contribute to all areas of development of the student. Out-of-class activities are activities that cannot be organized in the classroom but are useful for the education of student participation.

First of all you have to know their interests, involve their parents to see that their child's needs are being met, ensure that task demands and assessments are content rich, help those students to utilize their own gift by doing some independent projects or conducting an experiment, designing a game. You should avoid the trap of giving them extra work because they can do it.

Natalia, Italy

children with high cognitive potential need to be stimulated about their specific areas of interest (especially mathematics, science and art) and to experience relationships with individuals who have the same characteristics and similar needs (group of even gifted).If these needs are not accepted they can lead to the emergence of negative emotionality and / or restlessness, making it difficult to carry out the activities within the class or the management of the child / boy by the parents, (Betts & Neihart, 2010), until to the most serious cases in which anxious and depressive symptoms may occur.

Natalia, Italy

2018-11-05 17:04:02 UTC

It is possible to think that high-potential children no longer need help at school, but today teachers have to understand how
because without adequate support they risk losing much more than their classmates.

Greta, Italy

I would give him a lot of attention also from his classmates (like "explain this topic to your peers") and I would challenge him a bit more.

Violeta, Romania

violeta_crst — 2018-11-05 17:39:11 UTC

What a great video! I think for Bryan it would be very good if the teacher collaborate with him. Because he is gifted, it would be great to give him something extra to do, he could be teacher's help. He could explain to other childrens some things, put them questions, etc.

Maddalena Farruggia (Italy

2018-11-05 17:44:20 UTC

I have not had the opportunity to work with these children, but I believe that in these cases we need to find a method that can stimulate his curiosity and the desire to know everything, trying to involve other classmates to ask themselves the reason for many things.

Sandra Leite - Portugal

2018-11-05 17:57:58 UTC

In order to achieve the maximized development of all pupils, account must be taken of individual differences and the learning context, which implies the flexibility of school organization, teaching methods, resource management and curriculum. Thus, the structure of a gifted education program should enable acceleration, complexity and deepening of the curriculum, as well as all the means necessary for its implementation. The school is the place par excellence for the implementation of educational policies and where the problems of children with above average abilities must be placed. Educating gifted students requires adapting curricular content as well as teaching and learning methodologies. Intellectually stimulating and challenging activities should be used, these should promote the autonomy of learning and thinking, ie the use of metacognitive strategies and self-regulated learning. The cognitive stimulation of convergent to divergent thinking (creativity) should also be extended, educational processes should extend beyond the cognitive and academic area, also encompassing the emotional and social areas of gifted students.
The use of differentiated teaching and learning processes, the reference of special and specific educational needs, the elaboration and application of curricula and activities that fully respond to the intra-individual needs of these students, promoting the optimization of acquired skills and the development of skills emerging economies, foster the full and balanced evolution of their full potential.

Marco, Germany

2018-11-05 18:01:24 UTC

I know this kind of behaviour. It is especially common in children who started with school earlier than usual or skipped one class. However, class-clown disruptions and other forms of disrespect triggered by boredom are not acceptable classroom behaviour and Bryan has to understand that. It’s important to point out that such outbursts are disrespectful. A willingness to interrupt your teaching shows a lack of regard for you as well as his classmates. But the class clown is only thinking of himself and the attention the moment can bring him. So you must tread lightly. You must approach the situation shrewdly and strategically rather than impulsively. You must handle it in such a way that minimizes the disruption, yet at the same time holds the student accountable, restores respect for you, and lessens the chances of it happening again. Try to wait until silence is restored.

Sara, Mexico

2018-11-05 18:58:49 UTC

In this scenario, I would like to work more with this kid, guide him to discover his knowledge and allow him to be part of the group. Gifted students should feel that they are also part of the gruop where they can obtain and share.

Jenny (Evgenia) Karoumpali, Greece

jennykaroumpali — 2018-11-05 19:12:41 UTC

In the context of this scenario, I would provide Bryan with extra activities which are closer to his interests. I would use him as my assistant to the class as well.

I have not recognized any similar behaviors in my pupils so far. Nevertheless I have had pupils which were very talented in music, but these pupils were far to be characterized as “gifted” in the way that Bryan is.

Sabrina, Austria

I have no experience with this kind of kids but i would to integrate in the class.

From the other hand, he could a part of a group helping other students when they need help and trying to organize them to work all together.

Anja, Austria

2018-11-05 19:43:14 UTC

Daniela, Italy The theme of plus-rotation and potential is more relevant than ever, given that the European Directives and our Ministry of Education strongly insist on the need to work to create the conditions that can accommodate and encourage the development of our human capital as much as possible. On the other hand, the Italian context is currently one of the few remaining, which does not yet have specific research and intervention programs.The methodologies used that we develop and recommend at school are certainly not designed to promote the culture of the small genius but with the concrete objective of making sure that the school gives all children the right opportunity to mature.Therefore, the child is the center of the learning path, and starts from the recognition of differences as a value. Support methodologies include abbreviated study paths, advanced level activities, differentiated educational offer, extracurricular activities that allow to develop skills in a specific sector. The goal is to know and recognize the potential and talents, to make them emerge, grow and express, becoming a resource for everyone and for the group.

I've never had a student like that. But I was in a school environment where such students were. According to other children, these students who do and finish tasks quickly should not be left empty in the classroom. When they are empty, you may face a variety of behavioral problems. I think that the teachers of these children should plan their lessons according to their intelligence level, and they should design challenging tasks where they can have a pleasant time. In addition, schools can create areas where such students can engage in activities.

Snjezana, Croatia

knjiznica_zlata — 2018-11-06 07:21:08 UTC

Sometimes I try to respond to my student this way. Provide a healthy environment in which the child's skills and knowledge are accepted and valued, Create a child profile (identify the most developed area [s], both intellectual and socio-affective, their personality traits and characteristics); Create an organized and built development plan taking into account the unique learning characteristics of this child, complementing playful activities with deeper content and emphasizing their interests and abilities; Promote opportunities to contact older children and / or include them in older peer groups. Some Activities: Address content in greater depth; Address content different from those defined in the development plan; Diversify the tasks to be done in the classroom context; Increase the difficulty of activities related to logical, linguistic, mathematical thinking, among others; · Provide differentiated activities.

I don’t have gifted kids in my classroom...but I ‘ve got 2 at home. And what I would say is no matter how gifted they are they remain kids with kids needs. The most difficult thing is that...considering their speech, understanding of the world it’s easy to transform them into mini adults forgetting they are kids. Yet we have to adapt to their vivacity which can surprise us but we must not fall in the trap of asking them too much because they’ll understand... they won’t.. A child remains a child no matter how gifted he is...and even if they are bright and shining they are like cas fragile as crystal

Managing and enhancing talented pupils within an inhomogeneous class group, with different levels of learning is a great challenge. It requires innovative teaching and friendly technologies that support students in this growth path. We have to deal with complex personalities with constant requests for attention, otherwise they become disturbing elements for our comrades. It is necessary not to hinder the talented child in his curious and experiential research of the world around him. It is necessary to prepare a multi-level programming and start from the child's experiences and curiosity. It must be a flexible program that adapts to the exploratory path of the talented student.

I think gifted students are somehow forgotten in today's shool. We concentrate ourselves to all sorts of special educational needs students and we simply forget the gifted ones. I always feel gilty in their eyes because I feel I simply can't do much for them. All right, I can bring some extra work for them but they are alone in that as other children are not able to participate. Then, I don't have much time for them and I somehow know they'll manage without me. I'm asking myself: Is it fair to spend so much time on SEN students while gifted students are left to find their own ways?

Nerila, Albania

nertilamucka — 2018-11-06 20:21:40 UTC

Having talented children like Bryan is a real challenge. You have to work hard enough for such students to make them feel good in class and not being bored. t certainly needs a special plan for these students according to the skills they have.

Ljubica Ruzhinska, Macedonia

rljubica_78 — 2018-11-06 20:26:14 UTC

I completely agree with Marija from Croatia that gifted and talented students nowadays are somehow forgotten in today's school. I think that are usually lost in mainstream education because so much accent is put forward only on working with SEN students. Another reason is the strict curriculum and the unwillingness of a lot of teachers (and schools) to tailor the curriculum to individual needs of these students.
When I have gifted/talented students in my classes I usually try to get them involved in different extra curricular activities so they get the chance to develop their individual needs outside classes.

Nurullah Kaya, Turkey

gulortmen — 2018-11-06 20:27:01 UTC

Gifted students need to develop their gifts in classes.They need to have extra works after they finish the tasks assigned he is immediately engaged in other activities.

Abdullah, Turkey

abdullahozturk42 — 2018-11-06 20:34:37 UTC

Christos, Greece

christos_chachoudis — 2018-11-06 20:43:13 UTC

Gifted children should be encouraged to develop their special and unique talents. The key point is differential learning and personalized lesson plan. We have to make these kids be a part of the class taking roles and initiatives in the learning process. The teacher should openminded and let him/herself learn from these kids. The journey of teaching should be ajourney of learning as well.

To think of having a student like Bryan scares me and at the same time excites me. A student like him should have special programs and also special tools, but above all a team of special teachers who are able to interest him and stimulate him continuously and not bore him. Personally I can not say if I would be able to manage a gifted pupil like him.

Isabel Quirino

Time and lack of knowledge and support are my main concerns. I try to involve my talented students into different projects and extra curricular classes.

Dina, Verona, Italy

2018-11-07 08:37:41 UTC

I met some children with similar characteristics but never a child so particular and so talented. I have a nephew who has a real musical talent and was very good at school too. Now he is in New York and works as a musician.
I sense that the life of a gifted child is not easy because most people (especially adults) can not accept that there is someone smarter than them.
However ... what can be done for these children. It is important because, for example, the very good child I once had at school, when he grew up, stopped studying, He had not found the right path. And he was a particularly troubled child, but he was the smartest in my class.
I learned to divide the tasks and to give these children only a part of the task, the most difficult.
When we introduce a new topic to the class, we decide which are the most difficult points. Generally 5 tasks are chosen, exemplifying the most difficult concepts. We write them on the blackboard, putting the first one on display
maximum difficulty, (The hardest thing first). Students who immediately understand the most complicated concept, adequately carrying out the proposed exercise, do not have to do the rest of the task, but can devote themselves to other chosen activities.
from them. Those who, however, fail to complete the "more difficult" exercise
first, they are then invited to perform all the exercises.

Then it is useful to compact the curriculum, that is not to bore these children by doing things they already know how to do, which they have already consolidated, so ...
We establish the learning objectives or standards that all pupils must achieve. We offer the possibility of voluntary pre-tests for those who believe they have already learned or build an alternative path for those pupils who learn what they need in less time than others. We plan and offer program extensions
for children who take advantage of opportunities for compaction. We eliminate every exercise, practice, verification for pupils who already have a mastery over the contents. We keep a record as faithful as possible of the compaction activities.

This little boy needs accelerated and exceptional teaching. If he is mainstreamed, the school needs to have him in the grade level that challenges him; otherwise, how would he reach his potential? No, otherwise; his giftedness would be stifled

I don't have any experience with gifted children. Anyway I would explore their passions, know their interests, keep them active, reassuring that gifted students could be challenged.

2018-11-07 20:12:55 UTC

A gifted child like Bryan should have a differentiated programme designed according to his needs and interests. He needs to be challenged with tasks which allow him to make further research, design, create or present. He should be engaged in the decision making process of the programme.

Bryan is amazing and frightening. I have never seen something like this, but I did have some gifted students, just not that much. It is very hard. They need more attention and extra, harder tasks. Some projects they can work on while others are learning what he already knows. A gifted child like Bryan should have a differentiated programme designed according to his needs and interests

I have never had such a gifted student as Bryan but I had a student who was similar to him. He had excellent results in all subjects. I was trying to make extra tasks for him, included him in extra curricular activities and preparing for math competitions. He shared his knowledge with classmates - he presented a lessons about the solar system, the sun, the stars, the energy of the sun and ground. In higher grades, teachers have included him in many activities and competitions.

It is important to provide supportive and optional choices to gifted students so that they can make further progress.

I met pupils with a very rich imagination and high potential for certain areas. It is not easy to work with them because they are more curious and perceive problems at a different level. For such students, I needed time and energy to support them to grow, but most of the times they reached their targets by their own efforts.

Hana, Croatia

I personally work with children with SEN. Colleagues in the school have gifted students who try to pay special attention and give them more difficult and motivating tasks. A great part should also have parents to recognize the affinities of child and guide him in that direction. Teachers in the school have no easy task because it happens that students with difficulty and gifted students also have the same class, and everyone should be equally devoted to it. It would be much easier to work in such a classroom if classrooms are better equipped with information technology, but unfortunately it does not depend on us teachers or the school itself, but the founder who is not able to enable each school at the same time to the same extent.

Students like Bryan are rare in my school. I think it's a big challenge for every teacher and parents to live or teach such a child and make them happy. Maybe it could be harder than for other types of SEN students because of their developed critical sense. I think that in this scenario, teachers have to be real "listening spaces". In my opinion these students needs to talk, to express themselves and, above all, to be sure that they will be listened.

He is wonderful child, it's a pitty for children like him that would like to be with children their own age and be accepted. Unfortunelly, very often they feel lonely and very bored in the classroom, and theachers should take care of them, engaging them in information technology, giving the possibility to be themself explaying

The child learns very easily so he might need a lot more information than his mates, but I would never forget he is a child with a child's needs. I would also pay attention to his socialisation and I would stress the same his and his mates' gifts.
He might need help to stick to the rules

Tania, Italy

tania_vagnoli — 2018-11-08 18:28:10 UTC

I have a few "twice exceptional learners" in different classrooms. They are older than Bryan (12-14 years old) so they try to control their behaviour and not to overact but they sometimes get bored and interrupt the lesson to ask a lot of things. I try to interest and to involve them as much as possible giving them differentiated instructions and tasks; giving them the opportunity to do the same activities but with different modalities and in more details. I try also to "use" them as a resource for all the class and I organize for them some "tutorial activities" so that they feel valorized helping weaker students.

Lisa, Flanders (Belgium)

2018-11-08 18:35:01 UTC

I have no experience with this. But I think it would be important to make him feel useful and make the lessons interesting for him. We could give extra tasks, but not all the time. This could make him feel like he is being punished by extra work for already knowing a lot. He could maybe help other kids when they don't understand something completely by peer tutoring. Maybe even in higher classes.

Elisabete, Portugal

elisabete_azulmar — 2018-11-08 21:13:12 UTC

From time to time, I get students like Bryan in my classes, and do recognize similar behaviours in them. The truth is, when you have a class of 30 or more, it is not easy to keep them all focused, even less at all times, and again, even less when quite a few of them may have their own specific needs. Anyway, let us consider Bryan’s Case per se, since that is our purpose, this time.

Bryan’s Case:

- he usually learns easily and quickly, sometimes he doesn’t even need to be taught, because things immediately make sense in his mind;

- he wonders a lot and thinks of things beyond what we may see (how they may be inside, how they can be built, etc.);

- he may not follow the rules, or even get very good grades;

- he is smart, advanced, talks very well for his age, likes to read and ask questions, but sometimes it is hard for him to make friends, because some kids of his age do not understand him;

- he is a natural leader.

As a teacher, I might respond by:

1. learning about his interests, letting him focus and explore them;

2. definitely keeping him busy, by:

- making him read a lot, watch educational vídeos, listen to audio books, and then maybe try book talks, film talks, etc.;

- making him share what he had read about, listened to, watched, learned;

- using games (Minecraft, for instance) or challenges;

3. sharing events or presenting problems and teach him about decision-making, letting him present ideas to solve them;
4. if he proved to be good at it and if the others accepted it he could even become a kind of teacher's helper, by helping colleagues who had more trouble learning, doing exercises, etc.

Leonor, Portugal

2018-11-08 21:19:14 UTC

There are very few gifted students at my school. However, as for students with SEN, there is a need for adaptation and curricular differentiation, so that a differentiated response to all students is provided in an inclusive way.

Thus for Bryan there might be a need for school acceleration (to advance the student one or two years of schooling) and curriculum enrichment, that is, to add or modify some aspects of the school curriculum, so that in a challenging and motivating way one can meet the student learning style.

The gifted student necessarily has a good academic performance. However, negative attitudes toward school, as well as curriculum and educational strategies that do not take into account individual differences, interests, learning styles, and abilities, are some of the factors that may negatively affect the performance of high potential students.
Promote creativity in the classroom, for example: Promote an environment rich in stimulation with multiple opportunities of knowledge; To construct, collectively, a climate of harmony, respect for differences and acceptance of the new; Adopt attitudes of valorization and use of mistakes and mistakes made throughout the learning process; Construct innovative teaching methodologies; To create differentiated and fun learning situations with a gradual degree of difficulty; To act, in a consistent way, in reinforcing and stimulating students' self-esteem and self-concept; To value affective expressions and encourage the use of imagination and fantasy

Raffaella from Genova, Italy

raffaturbi1 — 2018-11-09 00:59:00 UTC

I sometimes had gifted students and I think it’s the hardest thing to find a solution for them in a class of average ordinary students.

Because gifted students have often leadership skills and distract their mates.

Other times they tend to isolate and their mates don’t understand their problems. They find every content boring because they are more advanced than any other student and teachers don’t have enough time and energy for them. I don’t have any suggestion yet.

Probably the best thing could be propose more activities to these students.

Petra, Croatia

Simona, Italy

I've never had a gifted student, but students who are a little more advanced than most of others. After listening to Bryan's experience I understand why giftedness can be considered a special educational need. I'd try to implement other abilities, like empathy, because gifted students may have relational problems and need to understand other people's reaction so as not to feel disappointed or lonely. I think that drama activities could be helpful.

Angelica, Italy

2018-11-09 10:33:39 UTC

I met many smart students, who could get everything quickly and then get bored eventually because their classmates needed more time. It happens more often then what we think. Some of these students end up demotivated if the teacher doesn’t think about differentiated instructions for this student. For example, teachers can give them a new task, maybe they can learn more about a specific part of the topic and then, when everyone has finished, he/she can explain it to the classmates. Gifted students, if they finisch earlier than everyone else the task, can help the teacher look for or select the materials for the next activity or project. I think that in this way they can feel more understood and work on something that motivates them instead of letting them get bored and slowed down.

I have never taught a gifted child. To keep the child bored at the hour, I would have to challenge him more challenging tasks, find out which areas are most interested in, and give him additional material in that area. I would have enabled him to be an assistant to other students in teaching who needed help. Sometimes I would change roles with him, he would be a teacher so that he would keep the class for the other disciples instead of me and explain the part of the lesson.

Flexibility, multiple strategies, colaboration and team work.

I had and still have such students and they are very demanding but when I think how their brain works and how they see the world (for example he is a picky eater because some foods taste funny) I take time to talk to them and want them to explain how they see the world. Then we spend time deciding what topic and level of tasks they want and I only follow them. It is demanding, time consuming but a great chance for me to learn different things. In my country gifted children are often left out and are not thought of as sen students.

I haven’t had gifted pupils so far, but for 3 years I have a bilingual pupil (American father and Italian mother) with excellent cognitive abilities that often gets bored; so I give him more elaborate tasks, I propose him tutor roles in view of his English language competence and, sometimes, I ask him to do the teacher, asking him to prepare researches on the English language. His problem is often the behavior in the classroom, because he is easily distracted and not always able to recover the schoolworks that I give to the class.

In this way he shows superficiality and the arrogance of knowing more than the teacher. The parents want to enroll him already in the first year of middle school, but the risk is that he continues to have this attitude in a school where more self-control and autonomy are required, with activities where the content takes for granted previous knowledge that he still doesn’t have

For the gifted student the best solution will be the differentiated education using ULD and curricular accommodations. the role of the teacher is to mediate the process of teaching and learning.

The following strategies could be adopted:

- allow the student to progress at his own pace in the areas of his / her interest with the teacher's orientation;

- create a working group with colleagues who also have similar interests to develop projects together

-Always keep the student busy with challenging activities;

- involve the student in the choice of tasks and themes;

- request his help to work with other students, so that he can also play the role of teacher

However, he always got full points from the exams. Although he was not listening, he answered my questions whenever I asked him. For these kids, teaching them how they learn is important in my opinion. If they are aware of the metacognition skills that they can use, they can benefit from their situation more effectively.

I haven't had a gifted student like the boy from the video . He is really advanced and it is obvious to spot it. I presume that some of my students were gifted but their gift was not recognized within the school curriculum..some kids are gifted in areas that are not visible at school but only outside in real life.
I think I would need to find out more about such kids and what are the best approached and methods while teaching them..It is very challenging and responsible to have such gifted students. The crucial part is not to "kill" their motivation and eagerness to attend school by giving them activities which are under their level.

Snjezana, Croatia

shhorvatic — 2018-11-10 18:46:08 UTC

I recognize similar behaviors with some of my students.

Gifted students are often misunderstood, so it is very important to support teachers in socialization and acceptance of other students. The gifted students can be included in the classes to help other students and occasionally also give him the role of a teacher.

Gifted students should be provided with an environment that will enable them to challenge, work with intellectual peers and support to become independent
acquire knowledge and self-regulated learning. It should be included in additional activities with mentor work.

Mónica Vieira, Portugal

Gifted students are a challenge to teachers, despite the fact that most of the times it's an underestimated problem. The best approach is have a classroom with extra activities (challenges) that meet his interests. I also think the teacher could work alongside with the gifted student, he would helpt the teacher with students that are a little behind task. And why not give the gifted child a few challenges? He could present a topic of his interest to his classmates...What's important is not "kil" the motivation and curiosity. He needs his school to offer differentiation!

I've had a student before. He memorized the surrounding signage. He memorized all the letters. He was only 3 years old. Language development was above their peers. But we were having trouble every morning when we came to school. He was crying all the time. He didn't want to go in, he was forcing the family. He said he was scared all the time. He used language expression and expressing his dreams in the way he wanted. I've heard that they've been tested at the age of 4-5, and they're gifted.

Then I became a student of similar nature. he had extreme concerns. He was very questioning. He had learned to read at the age of four.

I think the behavioral problems next to these children's superior abilities draw more attention. this pushes teachers and families to support that direction.

In college, I learned that gifted children should be supported because they are outside the normal boundaries. Families are seen as gifted children, but most of them do not support.

Differentiation in teaching is the answer not only for gifted students, but also for everyone else. As the video showed, differentiated instructions are something that all students benefit from. Of course, this is a special challenge for teachers, because it is not only necessary to prepare additional materials, but also have additional answers to many questions, or at least know how to refer to sources where something Bryan can find out. Until now, I did not have "real" gifted students, but in each class there is at least one student who learns fast, so additional material must be thought well to meet the needs of such students. I also know that there are special programs for gifted students who help them finish the class more quickly and go to the next in order continue the development and not to be bored.

This design is not static but flexible and can be modified at any time according to the needs and needs of the small user. When in my class I realize that I have children who learn quickly and who are bored to perform the activities common to others considering such activities outdated for them, the design is reshaped and if they are really excellent in agreement with the families it is possible that they are registered at early primary school.

Annamaria, Italy

annam_ronchetti — 2018-11-11 07:32:04 UTC

profgiuseppevullo — 2018-11-11 10:05:56 UTC

How would you respond as a teacher to this scenario?

Giuseppe, Italy

profgiuseppevullo — 2018-11-11 10:38:00 UTC

I don't see this scenario as something else; I see it as a more strategic approach. As a teacher you have to plan the lessons, so why not develop deep and complex activities for high level students, like Bryan, at the same time?
This way you should plan your work at different levels: entry, advanced and extension (deeper knowledge levels), giving them a variety of ways to learn.
It will take longer in the planning phase, but in the end it is more efficient because gifted students don't feel bored, and students in difficulty receive support. Once these resources have been created, they can be used over and over again.

Serenella Silenzi, Macerata, Italy

2018-11-11 12:51:10 UTC

No, none of the children in my classes are gifted this way. Sometimes I have had children who were smarter than the rest of their class, in those cases I have provided them with extra stimula and more challenging tasks. If my pupils were busy with a Project-based learning pathway great achievers had the role of Tutor/Facilitator /Organizer, this way they didn't get bored and shared their “gift” with the rest of the class. In my school there is also a project which is calle Odds and Evens according to which the most gifted students play the role of tutors of pupils with SEN and finally get extra credits and presents (computers, headphones etc).

Milka, Croatia

Teacher needs to prepare additional materials and tasks. I have one student who is great at programming. Las yeear I said that he is going to be a teacher for two school classes. Children react very well when they are tought by their peer.

2018-11-11 13:29:53 UTC

In college

I don't have experience with gifted students. I think that tasks that include research work would be the best for such students, because they wouldn't be bored and they would surely learn something new.

Franca, Italy

2018-11-11 14:46:43 UTC

_{Very often it happens to me that in class there are pupils who are faster at learning so they get easily bored. I use to listen to their proposals to find subjects and further materials they can consider and use after finishing common tasks. Furthermore I ask them to help other kids finishing their schoolworks or to explain the rest of class how they managed to solve a problem, a task....
What most worries me is the urgent need gifted children have for friendship and understanding: regular time must be dedicated to talking about emotions, conflicts and to cooperative learning.}

I have a speacly gifted student in my class, older than him but also has a similiar behaviour, and i have always to have some other engaging extension activities for him, and often ask him to explain to his scholmates the subject in hand. I often work with him in building exercices for him and his schoolmates about the subject we have just learned. I think that Bryan has to have diferenction stategies to mantain him focused.

Angelamaria Galderisi, Italy

soleemare_a — 2018-11-11 16:19:53 UTC

I have no experience of gifted students but of very interested ones. Usually I involve these students in more engaging activities and they are ofted called to be tutors of less interested or weak students. So more gifted students develop their abilities and competences leading weaker students to learn and study more easily and willingly.

I would do everything to motivate en encourage him. I would make another learning path where he can shows his own skills. Lot of gifted kids are bored at school. They don't want to work or learn because everything is boring for them. We have tot make the difference and we have to show them how gifted they are.

Fratila Alina, Romania

ionita_alinamihaela — 2018-11-11 18:19:20 UTC

Bryan is an intelligent student who needs attention and activities that require it as often as possible. You can involve him in projects that will attract attention, things that he likes and incites his curiosity.

ÖZGE TURKEY

2018-11-11 18:55:29 UTC

Bryan needs attention and activities that respond it as often as possible. I can suggest him to help other students who need him or to explain in the other students how he managed to solve the activity so fast. I will suggest him to help me.

Irena, Croatia

jirena30 — 2018-11-11 19:54:16 UTC

I can see him in some of my students. Its hard because my brain works differently, and some activities I prepare are not interesting to him/her. I can prepare additional activities for my gifted students, like puzzles, quizzes. Again it depends on the student. It would be great to have additional computer in my classroom so he/she could do some researches, when finished with regular tasks.

Annika, Estonia

2018-11-11 20:26:44 UTC

Bryan is gifted. He needs challenges that the study would not be bored. Instead of routine tasks, he should be given tasks, which need logic and investigation. Also, tutoring other students might be of interest to him.

The important thing is to stimulate the student. My colleague Vullo and I try and make some extra time activities dedicated to gifted kids. I don't have any case as Bryan but I've standard gifted students who need to be feed with info and challenges at their level. They get bored if not understood and if they don't receive any specific input.

Sam UK/UAE

2018-11-12 07:09:49 UTC

Over the years I have found that working with children who are gifted they need just as much input as the other students in the class. Working with 4/5 year olds, the play based classroom lends itself to setting up a variety of problem solving activities. Encouraging the student like Bryan to solve challenges and answer open ended questions. Can they find ways to represent their findings using resources in the classroom? Can they find a way to present their work to their peers and share their knowledge and skills. I agree with colleagues who have said that there must also be importance placed and social interactions. They need to be supported in developing friendships and in turn the whole class need to show tolerance and acceptance of everyone's differences.

Stavroula, Greece

2018-11-12 07:23:50 UTC

I never had the chance to work with gifted children. But if I could I would give them the space they need. That means that if we were in a classroom maybe gifted children could prepare a project in order to be the teacher themselves. So, they could teach us the things they know and maybe we (all the others in the classroom) didn't know. In that way I think they won't feel the classroom is boring and also all the others would be beneficial. But, in order not to feel different I would that with the other students as well. For example, as Bryan talked about planes, so the steps I would use in order to teach students about that would be: 1. wotk in teams 2. first team explains the easiest things they can find out, like why we use that and how they look like 3. second team with gifted children may present the most difficult information as air pressure and how they work for example. I think that could help a lot these children to feel part of the classroom and also understand that they are accepted from all.

Begoña, Spain

2018-11-12 12:11:44 UTC

We should offer these type of students just the same attention and resouces we offer to any other SEN but ,at least in Spain, they are not considered 'something to worry about' (as I Heard some colleagues said). According to current legislation we must grant our students all the resources and strategies for them to fully develop.
This means that we must allow gifted students to go a step beyond: to enrich the curriculum and if that's not enough, to extend it with contents from other grades. We must Foster investigation having in mind the students' interests. We must not neither forget the social componet, since some of these students feel that they don't fit, we must work on self-esteem.

Miroza — 2018-11-12 17:29:20 UTC

Gifted children often feel isolated too. I think we need to lay out a platform for them to express their giftedness. I once had a 6 year old boy who wanted to have a speech at the town hall about ocean animals. Everybody was astonished by his presentation. At the same time it was difficult for him to find playmates so we organised interactive games which helped him establish relationships with his mates. Maybe I would try to make him present a class topic from his point of view. Maybe in that way students would be able to profit even more

Rosie, Turkey

2018-11-12 18:04:21 UTC

I tend to find students like Bryan the most challenging. They demand constant challenge and stimulation otherwise boredom causes them to mess around. At the beginning of my lessons we have routines, we go over days, weather, numbers-I teacher EFL. This time is the most difficult. I find getting students such as these right with a hands on activity keeps them focused. Transiton times should be kept to a minimum and they should always have something to do.

Marzena, Poland

marzenkamazurek — 2018-11-12 18:07:06 UTC

Gifted children are very creative but sometimes they have a problem with their peers. I thin They are a great chellange for teachers.
I like to work with them. They can be very helpful. They prepare a short fragments of the lesson and explain it to my students, they hepls others to solve the problem, they inspire me to work harder. I gave them aditional tasks and we work together after my lessons.

Diana, Romania

steindiana — 2018-11-12 18:18:44 UTC

Activities follow their needs and wishes and are designed to give these children a challenge where they themselves have to come to terms with it. At the workshops we sometimes do experiments, play smart games, perform creative and research workshops.

But sometimes is difficult to pay them the attention they need.

He can be good starter for some interesting project and in that way other childer could learn from his interest and knowlege.

Saša Špoljarić, Croatia

sasa1234_spoljaric — 2018-11-12 22:15:05 UTC

In our educational system, only a few years ago, we began to talk about gifted students. There is no definite definition of who the gifted pupil is, but we can recognize them in the work. They are separated once or twice a week from other students and work in addition to areas that are of interest to them. They create different materials and games.

Monika, Croatia

mhorkipavrlisek — 2018-11-12 22:47:14 UTC

I've had students like this and it's been challenging. I always try to make things a bit more interesting for them. If they know more about a certain topic then use them as a starting point. Make extra materials or make the existing materials a bit more challenging. Put them in pairs or small groups to improve their social skills and to make them your helpers.

Very often, gifted children find it difficult to adapt in the real world, because their world is quite different. Therefore, the goal of the teacher is to properly develop the genius abilities of a gifted child and help in adaptation in everyday life without prejudice to his personality. All this should be done in close contact with the parents of the child.

It is important that he has tasks that push him further and that keep him engaged in the lesson. I would ask him to help explain things to his friends maybe in a better way than I could! I would find out what he is interested in and how he likes to learn best and work with this information.

I have gifted children in my classes. But there are many kinds of gifted children. The key is in suporting parents and society. Gifted children dont always get kind of education they need in Croatia. Differentiation is a very good thing, for all kinds of children. It seems to me a good way to go. In music I can do differentiation in many ways, it is a thing I can really implement. Gifted children should have challanges, school should not be boring.

I would find out what he likes to do in his free time, which activitoes he likes the most when he is at home and interating with his friends and I would go from there, meaning, that I would provide him more challenging activities, worksheets, ITC apps that are different from the rest of the class in order to fulfill his educational needs to keep him interested.

Donatella Passiatore, ItalyReading the information of the exceptional Bryan, an elementary school student, I am reminded of a student of my first year at the Liceo Scientifico where I teach. He is a very popular boy for languages, passionate about computer science, science and cartoon design. Often, my classmates refer, they distract and draw comics, or read specialized journals in Science or Computer Science. When asked why he does not follow the lesson, he replies that he already knows those things and prefers to read up on the subjects that most passionate him. My colleagues are evaluating future teaching strategies for this student with exceptional abilities. Personally, I teach Design and History of Art, I will try to make him tutoring to his companions in difficulty for the study of the History of Art and maybe even propose to make him the experience of "Prof for a day" some time in English. In addition to this, as every year I presented a project "ARTE VIVA AMONG THE CLOUDS" at School, in which children can express themselves in the language of comics or interpret live some works of art. In this way you will feel more involved and will follow, I hope, with more enthusiasm and interest. Obviously, I will monitor monthly progress and working conditions in order to intervene as necessary.

Funda, Turkey

2018-11-13 19:14:17 UTC

Students like Bryan are the most challenging ones for me. Gifted students want to be challenged and want attention all the time. I usually direct my gifted students to prepare extra work for their friends. I ask them to prepare a game, PPT presentation, an experiment related to our topic. Gifted students love these activities. The other students enjoy their friends’ presentations a lot and participate more actively in those activities prepared by gifted students. I also ask my gifted students to keep a TOP SECRET DIARY where they ca write about all the facts about a topic that they know or they can design, create or invent a new thing and write all the details. I check those diaries regularly and talk to the students. They feel cared, valued and proud of themselves.

Jelica, Croatia

2018-11-13 19:55:00 UTC

I have a very similar kid in my class and believe me, it really challenging. Sometimes I don't know if he is a SEN or a gifted child. Over the years (he's in six grade now) I have used different strategies more or less usefully. One of the things I always have in my classroom is a shelf with the books that might interest him. He reads them when he feels that our lesson is not challenging enough for him. I used to push him to do things, but I don't any more. Now that he can do it his way, I find him much more cooperative and active in the things the others do.

Adriana, Romania

It is hard for a teacher, but just let walk in that kid's shoes. He knows lot of things, he learn very fast, so that's is boring. The same thing is with adult - you will not be interested with a thing that is talked about few times. I think that teachers should give him extra tasks, maybe even aske them for a help. He can look after other (maybe), then his social skills will grow too.

Miroslav, Croatia

2018-11-14 09:56:00 UTC

I work in a secondary school and I guess that by that time a lot of gifted kids already learn how to deal with the school assignments that are too easwy for them so they are trying to blend in. But very quickly teachers see that potential in a child so we are trying to chalenge him/her through advance activities in a subject(s) that he choose.
It's more difficult for them to overcome social relationships with peers and that often follows them throughout the life...

Sono solo bambini!!!!

2018-11-14 09:57:30 UTC

A volte credo che incanalare la mente umana e quella soprattutto di un bambino in evoluzione all'interno di un sistema rigido sia deleterio. In una classe differenziata forse c'è più spazio per ogni singolo alunno forse, anzi lo posso sostenere, si è oggi più attenti alla personalizzazione, agli stili cognitivi di ognuno. Certo questo comporta molta fatica e spesso noi insegnanti siamo lasciati un po' soli. Ad un bimbo come Bryan non consiglierei un percorso di educazione istruzione tradizionale ma nemmeno la obsolete e, per fortuna superate, classi speciali. La mia scuola è molto attiva nella didattica del fare, nell'apprendere giocando costruendo e realizzando elaborazioni innovative. Credo molto che questa sia la strada giusta da percorrere per favorire tutti. Altrimenti, se rinunciamo ad essere inclusivi ed aperti, favorendo ciascun individuo, abdicheremmo alla nostra funzione. Ricordiamoci che i bambini potrebbero apprendere da soli davanti ad una LIM ben programmata.

I recognized that for everyones growth in the classroom I haveto create situations which are interesting for the students. I found the answer i progressive education "Jenaplan". This is child- oriented pedagogical concept which is interested in the training every single child’s ability to cope with life.

They can also worj in independent projects and use their knowledge and abilities on topics they want to explore more.

marina_antolkovic — 2018-11-14 16:19:28 UTC

Bryan is a SEN student... Dealing with a SEN student is always difficult; sometimes we forget that that's who they are. Problem based learning would be appropriate for Bryan; it would also be great if the teacher could keep track of his progress and in that way adjust the program to Bryan's individual needs.

Doing some research, something like PBL, is the best for Bryan

Yes, I recognise similar behaviours. In this situation we have to prepare longer and harder activities for these students in order to maximize their skills and to avoid distractions.

I don't have to many experience with this kind of students, but I recognize that they more information, they are faster on dealing with it, and can put us in the red zone, challenging us in the opposite way we are used too. We can even learn with them. We have to prepare every intervention, doing research and contact organizations that can work with these students and can give us useful guidelines. In Portugal we have, for instance: APCS and ANEIS, according to which 3 to 5% of young Portuguese are gifted.

is essential to give each child a role; even the very good child can be motivated and interested if you organize group work, if you feel like a collaborator and a helper. It is important to use platforms that help the child to design maps, schemes, language games that he can then present to his classmates. to the child that he can help his classmates in some "disciplinary" activities, but it is also important to teach the super-gifted child that in some activities, that he too can call for help in other "non-disciplinary" activities.

First of all, I didn't like the movie. Why the sad music? As if it's a sad, bad thing to be gifted, intelligent, but it's a desirable thing to have mental disabilities, judging by the joyful tone of other videos?!...That's a bit discriminating and curious. Other than that, no I don't have gifted students. If I would though, I would useyour suggestions, work in stations for advanced kids.

Well, just like Bryan, I have a student in one of the classroom in my school. I have always extra and extraordinary activities for him. He gets bored quickly, so I have learnt how to get him busy. I have also recognised that gifted children has a disadvantage side, thus I use this side in his learning and his brain works harder.

Brayan is gifted, but without friends For a little child that is  very, very sad. With all classes I will do some workshops abouth friendship, differences, work to improve social skills. Brayan can help other students in learning and make some interesting project. In this period, friendship and social skills are above knowledge

When I have a gifted students in my class, I try to get him busy to avoid him to get bored. I give him extra exercises to do or a research on a specific topic that hasn't been explained yet.

Besides, he can be the tutor of some of his classmates and helps them with their homework or he can explain what they haven't understood.

As fas as activities are concerned, you can give gifted student activities that bring out their creative sides, such as:

rewriting the ending of a book that students have read;
writing a historical fiction story that takes place in a time period that they have just learned about;
creating art that mirrors famous pieces of art in the period of history they are learning about;
writing songs to review the material that they have learned.

clara_vitorino — 2018-11-19 23:04:06 UTC

It's difficult to teach a gifted student. The general tendency is to give them more tasks and more difficult. I think besides that strategy we have to care about his or her difficulty to be with his equals. We should help that gifted child to have resources to enjoy playing and being with his companions.

Maybe give him some more exercises or involve him in the learning process, something like a co-teacher

Once there was a boy in my group who could do multiplication and division with two digit numbers, read and write at the age of 4 and a half. He grasped it with ease but he was very naughty, lazy, active and liked being with his friends. He supressed his interest into new stuff and topic in the group if his friends were not interested. Nonetheless, we, teacher, always tried to find an individual time to work with him.

In the present class, the first grade, I have students who could be a gifted student. This is the first time I meet such a student (30 years of practice). I could easily compare it to Bryan. He likes to talk about everything he does not talk about at school, and I find myself in a situation where I am giving him small projects, like "how basketball was created". At the beginning of the school year, he was crying every day until I went to class. He was worried about who would take care of him that day. One day he simply said that he decided not to cry and that he could not even understand why he did it. He does not accept criticism or praise easily. There is always a question of "why," and I have to explain everything. I hope that he is really a gifted student and that I will be able to stimulate all of its capabilities to develop to the maximum.

Ana, Portugal

2018-11-20 21:30:06 UTC

In a first moment he would be learning with the class. Then, he would do tasks related to the subject that was taught but more demanding than his mates. Finally I would engage him with other projects that fullfil his expectations and needs.

In my classroom there is a kid gifted more than the others. He is usually clowning around and distracts other students until i involve him in something challenging..usually he takes part to a cooperative learning group actively and successfully. Cooperative learning is an organized and structured way to use small groups to enhance student learning and interdependence. Students are given a task, better known as an assignment, and they work together to accomplish this task. Each individual has responsibilities and is held accountable for aiding in the completion of the assignment; therefore, success is dependent on the work of everyone in the group. Cooperative learning allows discussion and critical thinking, so students learn more and remember what they've learned for a longer period of time. Cooperative learning is fun, so students enjoy it and are more motivated.

Children's counseling, differential education (curriculum, resources, teachers trained in a differentiated way), an environment in which to find equal partners of intellect (children, adults with giftedness-like behaviors, passions, development horizons, aspirations and ideals), counseling and parenting specific to gifted child psychopedagogy.

In most cases, children with SEN are endowed with talent. They can be creative, talented in music, painting, dancing but also in other fields. In the classroom where they teach a dyslexic child is very creative in painting and another hyperactive child excels in computer science.

efelgueiras1 — 2018-11-21 17:01:16 UTC

Sevinç Terzioğlu, Turkey

I had a student like that two years ago. She had no friends. When I asked the reason of it she said that she had found her classmates very boring and could not find anything to talk with. I have a students like that. She hasAnd she felt alone. She always completed the tasks and exams very quickly. At the end her classmates started to bully her and I decided to do something for her. I communicated with a special school that designed for gifted students. It was hard to convince her family but she enrolled there. After that her family informed me about her situation. She is very happy and is not alone now

I know that just like all students, come to school to learn and be challenged. I find out their areas of strength as well as those areas you may need to address before students move on. I consider grouping gifted students together for at least part of the school day. I plan for differentiation. Consider pre-assessments, extension activities, and compacting the curriculum. I use phrases like "You've shown you don't need more practice" or "You need more practice" instead of words like "qualify" or "eligible" when referring to extension work. I encourage high-ability students to take on challenges. Gifted students need deeper and more complex assignments so I organize assignments and activities according to this fact.

Amalia Sole, ItalyAn important task of teachers in the school is to be able to recognize students 'talents” and the different types of intelligence. This the main way to help them growing in a bilance personality, If you know the pupils' personal attitudes,you can implement different strategies aimed at improving resources and learnings in cognitive areas, in which students find it more difficult. The interaction between different methods, is fundamental in the didactic actions, adapted to specific contexts and not generically planned a priori

As an educator, it is fundamental to know the characteristics of these individuals, and the main ones are: ease of learning and assimilation of content, agility to process complex information, need to explore themes with depth, high creativity and curiosity, great capacity for analyze and solve problems and improved critical sense.

Even given these specificities, many educators do not recognize the need to develop their own teaching strategies for these students. To escape this common sense, it is important to start from the premise that success as a teacher is directly related to their interest in leaving the 'comfort zone' and contributing to the student's progress in several aspects.

He refused to be given instruction and the i let him play I appreciated his performance. I gave him a task to produce tunes for his mom's cellpone ringtones. I reommendded him to play in public during our school anniversary.
I gave him an instrument hie has not used before and show him how to use it for transfer of learning.
we attended a national dvocacy for autism and encouragedd him to showcase his gift to show the world that SEN can (given the opportunity).
He has some difficulty gaining friends. So I collaborate with his classroom teachers to include him in a group f learners with high sense of acceptance.
I taught him to increase temper tolerance and i have observed hat he has tansformed a lot.

All children have the right to education and we need to offer them the level that they require. If a childs capacity is less, we need to offer that, and if the capacity is more we need to give that to satisfy his needs. Differentiation in all levels is the only key to it.

I think each student is gifted in their own way and all students have weakness and that is okay. No child is the same or alike. You have to find their strengths and weakness for each child and adapted to them as a teacher or parent.
